Very nice Mickey. When you get a chance, update your signature so we can see what your doing to get your awesome results. Still on xtandi (or was it zytiga?, or both?). These newer drugs are really helping folks out! My DH is on a second go round of xtandi after a second go round of taxotere. Best wishes on that PSA staying low or even lower!

Hey Mickey ~

That's some great news to share ---

When I was a kid growing up, there was the LIMBO STICK game --- goal being to bend backwards as the LIMBO STICK got lower and lower --- and the words to the LIMBO SONG being, "How LOW Can YOU Go?"

So --- as with the LIMBO SONG --- your PSA is going "LOWER & LOWER" --- encouraging news for every reader here.

Celebrating your good news with you, Mickey ! Keep in touch --- and keep posting !

All my best, looking ahead,

psa has increased to 2.38 i am on my 34th cycle of 28 days of xtandi.i am getting concerned as my psa dropped to a low of .20 a few months ago.my last set of scans showed a little more brightness on the met in my left hip bone.anyone have any thoughts as to what is happening?thanks

That's a large rise in a short time. I realize it's possible, but I'd ask for a retest to be sure. Even if it's just the lab retesting the same blood sample

psa dropped this round to 1.84 after rising last month to 2.38.anyone had that happen while on xtandi?
